ROHINGYAR MAF-ZÚF

Rohingyar Maf-Zúf means the methods of measurement of Rohingya People. The ancient Rohingyas had been used verious methods to measure the length, weight, time etc. we can distinguish the Rohingyas measurements into two methods as: 

(i) Ancient Rohingyas' Measurements,  

(ii) Modern Rohingyas' Measurements. 

They are described below. 

(I)     Ancient Rohingyas' Measurements

  1.  Lamba Maf  (Measurement of Length)

  5  fak    =              1  biñót

  2  biñót =              1  hát

  2  hát    =              1  gous

  2  gous  =              1  biyuñ

10  biyuñ =              1  daak

10  daak  =              1  baiñg

 8   baiñg =              1  baica

• 1 aál is almost equal to 1 cm

2. Uzónor  Maf  (Measurement of Weight )

 

  4 sunni   =         1  cóçak

  4 cóçak  =          1  faba

  4 faba    =          1  cér

  4 cér      =          1  fai

10 fai       =          1  mon

10 mon    =          1  fala

•   1 sunni is equal to one- thirty-two of 1 pound (lb).

    4 foth       =       1   cér

    4 cer        =       1   fai

    4 fai         =       1   açí /Duor

    3 açí        =        1   mon

100 mon      =        1   gula

•   Some grain or liquid put empty condensed milk Can  fill till the upper edge of it, is called 1 foth.

4. Fainná cizor Maf  (Measurement of Liquid)

 

    4 sunni     =      1   cóçak

50 gelém      =       1  dherém

1 filañg is equivalent to 1 litre. 

5. Woktór Maf  (Measurement of Times)

2  miríñg   =       1 túra

  4  túra    =        1 káana

10  khara   =        1 góndhá

10  góndhá =       1 madán

  4  madan  =       1 diin

30  diin       =       1 san

12  san       =       1 bosór

• 1 góndha is equal to nearly 40 mins.

6. Siyón cizor Maf  (Measurement of little things like gold..)

 

    2 ratti    =    1 foicá

   2 foicá      =     1 khaiñs

   2 khaiñs  =    1 ana

  12 khani       =       1 dun

100 dun          =      1 coçá

*1 khani is equivalent to 0.40 acre.

Remark:    : Above units and measurements had been used in the early century in Arakan. Nowaday, Rohingyas are used SI (system of international) units to measure length, weight and time. Some early units are also used today but some are not. Some are changed their names. The units  which marked in red colour are not used today.

 (ii)  Modern Rohingyas' measurements
